i am trying to find an internship for the summer, and in doing so, i'm trying to narrow down what i could see myself doing for at least the next ten years after graduation, which is, for me, the most frightening thing in the world, unless you consider the fact that i am also profoundly afraid of literally everything else

Hey Mel,

I actually bookmarked this page the other day because I was doing some research for my own stress relief. This page deals with some similar issues under an Eastern Philisophical standpoint. It's really useful stuff. It looks useful to you too. Basically, it talks about removing expectations from your life. Have a look:

I always wish I was dumb enough/smart enough to believe in anything.

Also. This is long and it is wasting cyber-space. You are polluting the air. Delete this whole thing except for this line:i want everyone i have ever met to like me.

I am finishing in December and I fully intend on living on your couch. Or we can talk about couches. Or I can read about couches. Or we could reasonably think about couches.

Hey Mel, I know that I might be misinterpreting what you are trying to say, but I want to take a little stab at making you feel slightly less bad/sad. (Though I know you don't hate yourself

I'm watching this and, hmm... you should be a journalist.

Hope this helps!

Journalist...interesting. I agree.

Anyway, I believe you know two things about me, at least. One is that I like Paul Rudd and the other is that I have ZEEEEEEEEEEro direction in my life. I talk about it more just to you than anyone, but everyone: I have no direction. My future may be bright as far as my abilities and potential and all that bullshit, but they are useless without some structure. Is anyone else terrified to graduate? What the hell do we do without school to buy us time for decision? I am sincerely happy for those of you who have started to steer yourself in some/any direction, and don't feel sorry for those of us who haven't because we can always tell ourselves it'll happen for us. However, Melissa, I understand the feeling...in a very real way.
I'm cranky and impatient and bitchy and none of these things are useful in choosing what to do. They may help me in reaching my goals, if you're willing to put a positive spin on things. But they do not help my to figure out what I want to do.
